Right, this is about time I think.

I was bored at lecture today and thought up a setting for a new rpg. I think this can be great fun if people are willing to participate?

The last one we did went well I thought. Shame it died so quickly, but perhaps we can make it better this time, hm?

So, if people are interested and have the time, I'll present the setting and we can begin..

Does being the only sane person in the world make you insane?

If a tree falls in the woods and a deaf person saw it, does it make a sound?

lol, no worries. Posting that often is not expected. The posts here tend to be fairly long, but ofc, it's not negative to post often :(

@Councilor - No worries. try it out and see how you like it


For now, I should perhaps divulge a bit of the setting. It will take place on a island which is the capitol of continent sized nation. I will do a more detailed description of the place later..

The nation is ruled by a council of 12 who represent the mightiest families. As the official leader, though more of a figurehead, is the immortal emperor. I'll come back to that in my more extensive setting post. Basically though, each partisipant will be in control of one of the twelve nobles, their house guards, assassins, informers, and so on and so forth. The goal is to gain dominance, though in all fairness, the goal is to make a good story and be praised by the others :)

... please dont forget such things as:

Maximum house 'guard' size... how much everyone makes a... week? How many people are out there for the hiring... that sort of thing... Maybe there should be both laws and traditions indicating what we can and cant do... ie, hiring an assassin to kill the head of a house, unacceptable... hiring one to kill an heir that has sleighted you... not such a big deal...

I like the idea, and would be up for doing this. I have some ideas for my house... if I get a house. Knowing my luck, it'll probably be a shed.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

no no illy, there are going to be 12 and we are all going to be leaders of the largest trading houses in the capital city of a continent size empire... we should be able to afford at least a small two-story residence :(

Oh, I know we start off with a house. I'm just anticipating being reduced to maybe a garage in a few ingame days. Perhaps the despair 'I' could have succumbed to from being so poor (finacially and businesswise) might fuel some chancy acts of desperation... It would be more interesting then, "I'm so rich, blah blah blah, throw some more peasants on the fire Jeeves, I'm getting a bit chilly." Nowhere near as funny, but more interesting.

I'm willing to give this a go, though I'm trying to work more on my comic writing at the moment, so if you don't want light relief, count me out;)
